Teens given a choice of healthy online viewing

Twenty-one online video platforms have started an anti-addiction system to protect adolescents and ensure their healthy development.

Fourteen online short video platforms, including Xigua Video, Bilibili and Pear Video, as well as four video streaming websites, including Tencent Video, iQiyi and Youku, started the anti-addiction system on Tuesday, the Cyberspace Administration of China said in a statement.

Three short video platforms - Douyin, Kuaishou and Huoshan - piloted the anti-addiction system in March.
